UmEncontrono AuBonGourmet — live performance on 2 August 1962 at the restaurant Au Bon Gourmet in Rio de Janeiro

On 2 August 1962, a musical show billed as “Um Encontro” (A Meeting), but now often referred to as “O Encontro” (The Meeting) is presented at the restaurant Au Bon Gourmet in Rio de Janeiro, featuring Antônio Carlos “Tom” Jobim, Vinícius de Moraes, João Gilberto and the vocal group Os Cariocas. Otavio Bailly is on bass, while Milton Banana plays drums. Songs premiered in this show include: Só Danço Samba, Samba do Avião, and Garota de Ipanema.

Garota de Ipanema is sung by Jobim, de Moraes, and Gilberto, including a comical introduction (See comments, below).

João Gilberto and Stan Getz, vocals: João Gilberto (intro) and Astrud Gilberto — from the album Getz/Gilberto, recorded 18 and 19 March 1963, but released a year later. The hit single (credited to Stan Getz/Astrud Gilberto and released sometime in 1963, I believe) was edited to 2:54. An alternate cut of duration 2:44 was released in June 1964 as the B-side of the Stan Getz/João Gilberto single Blowin’ in the Wind.

Astrud Gilberto — The video provider gives the source of the clip as “German TV, Discorama, 1965.” But it is evidently originally from a French TV profile of the singer.
